What We Think

While 'Trance' doesn't obsess over modern identity quotas, its critique of faith and tradition pushes it into ‘woke’ territory regarding cultural values. It’s more anti-institution than activist propaganda, but still leans one way.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Trance focuses on personal struggle, faith, and psychological drama rather than shoehorning identity politics or diverse casting for the sake of it. While it challenges certain systems, characters are complex and the story remains character-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film offers a sharp critique of organized religion and televangelism, portraying faith-based institutions as exploitative. Traditional values are questioned, with religion often shown in a negative light, which could be interpreted as undermining cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear skepticism toward religious authority with little room given to genuine believers or sympathetic views on faith. Traditional or dissenting perspectives are sidelined or mocked, supporting a fairly one-sided narrative.
